ShutUpFlanders August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 (edited) I really can't believe that Grodner would want this bland game to continue. It's dull, which is even worse than last season. It's not going to get exciting unless something happens. I'm all for a Pandora's Box at this point because the playing field is so uneven but the only thing it could possibly do is unleash a second veto into the house. Though hey, if they want to make a coup d'etat where America chooses anyone who hasn't won PoV, had PoV used on them, or the HoH this week to replace the two nominees and they're revealed live on Thursday's broadcast, I wouldn't complain. I just want the people I like to have a freaking chance for once. Edited August 22, 2014 by ShutUpFlanders 1 Link to comment
Pixel August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 (edited) Rookie questions: Why is coup d'état referred to as Cootie Taw? I assume it's a reference to a past player's-lack of language skills. And two, I know that DOR means self evict, but what do the letters actually stand for? Edited August 22, 2014 by Pixel 1 Link to comment

TimWil August 22, 2014 Share August 22, 2014 (edited) I'm now trying to decide which amuses me more-Caleb's "mysterious African man" story or Victoria's "Crow, baby!" story. Edited August 23, 2014 by TimWil Link to comment

Says Donny replied, "I appreciate that." NT Caleb re Donny: "Sometimes, when you're so genius and so smart, you have to be thinking when you're not thinking." NT Caleb says he reads people very well, and Donny's "a genius. Or if he's not, he has a mental issue." NT 5 Link to comment
Wings August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 I have been a fan since Season 1...ahhh...bring back Chicken George ;) lol Oh god no. Jokers Caleb says the way Donny packs his drawers indicates he's military intelligence or a weapons designer rather than infantry. I hope we see everyone's face when they are told Donny is indeed, a grounds keeper. 11 Link to comment
TexasChic August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 (edited) I don't understand what gangrene has to do with anything. 08/22/14 04:52 PM Derrick tells Caleb that Nicole's another genius. Caleb says if she was so smart, she would've won HOH. Derrick says it might've been different had she been there and not in jury house. Caleb guarantees that Donny has an IQ of at least 150. Plus he has tics. Derrick wondering if it has something to do with Donny's military time. Caleb hypothesizes: "It's not gangrene." Positing that Donny's a Silver Star recipient.

ShutUpFlanders August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 Is it possible Derrick will get Cody to backdoor Christine? Derrick seemed to be planting seeds with Cody earlier about being able to work with Nicole instead of Donny and I wonder if that's because Derrick thinks he can use Nicole to get some of the Bomb Squad out so that Derrick won't have to himself. 2 Link to comment
Stinamaia August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 Derrick is so paranoid. He can't take the least thing in stride. What is he going to be like closer to the end? Caleb: "I run one-legged when I have a cramp. And I still outrun people. I run a 4.5 40." NT 08/22/14 05:20 PM 3 Link to comment

Diana Berry August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 I wonder if TPTB think Derrick is the golden boy and everyone in tv land loves him and we can't have two golden boys (Donny) so no manipulation. I do hope there is a closeup of Derrick, Cody, Caleb and Frankie when Donny (hopefully) wins America's prize. Link to comment
parisprincess August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 The talk Derrick and Donnie had a while ago was really interesting. Derrick was working real hard to blow smoke up Donnie's ass. I don't know how Donnie kept a straight face and didn't snicker when Derrick said, "I don't have a specific person to take me to the end." The cop in Derrick came out during their talk. It reminded me of those TV cop shows, with the cop sitting in the interrogation room with the perp, trying to make him comfortable by acting like they're equals, making small talk, and working to get the guy to spill his guts. Unfortunately for Derrick, the person he was trying to snow is much too smart to be taken in by his bullshit. For a smart guy, Derrick came off looking like the dumb perp. Ahh, Caleb! I get so much enjoyment listening to him when he has these light bulb moments where he thinks he has it all figured out. The shit that comes out of his mouth is pure comedy. 5 Link to comment

ParadoxLost August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 If they do Pandora's Box, I think this would be the first time the HoH wouldn't open it. They are so irrationally worried about Donny that I don't think Cody would risk it despite this being just about the safest situation a person could be in to risk it. The show won't do anything so extreme that it helps Donny and Nicole for more than a week. Cody is completely comfortable that he'll go F2 with Derrick. The alliance is showing no signs of turning on him. His alliance is starting to point out the weak links and they aren't him which is cover for a Donny/Nicole win. Donny and Nicole have bigger fish to fry. But Derrick rules Cody and paranoia rules Derrick. 1 Link to comment

Callaphera August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 It might not be Pandora's Box. Dumbass Theater today had Caleb and Derrick unable to turn on the television screen in HOH earlier. They figured it might be because they were stocking the groceries in the storage room, but it might actually be broken. I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed for a PB. Link to comment
peachmangosteen August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 I know everyone thinks it's a march to the winner's circle for Derrick but his endgame has a lot of problems. I hope you're right about this. Seeing Derrick go at F3 would fill me with so much joy. Pandora's Box never does anything that changes the game, it is just silly stuff. Porsche's game was ruined by PB. It's been mentioned already but I had to mention it again because it will never not make me angry. If they do Pandora's Box, I think this would be the first time the HoH wouldn't open it. Production isn't gonna let someone not open PB. And considering it's Cody, it won't take much to get him to do it anyway. Caleb might be willing to work with Donny if he thinks Donny is ex-military. Caleb has thought this since week 1. I was always surprised that it didn't make him want to work with Donny. Link to comment

peachmangosteen August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 Can they make someone open it? Isn't the idea that they have a choice? They want it to look like a choice, but it's not. They basically make them open it. It's been alluded to by HGs in the past. Most likely there's not gonna be a PB, but even if there is, watch Cody get DPOV or something because this season refuses to be good. 1 Link to comment
choclatechip45 August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 It sure seems like Victoria will have to leave and have her teeth extracted. In BB9 two house guests had to have medical attention both of them left to go to the hospital and came back. Nathan and Alison in BB4 saw a dentist in the DR because they said PB &J was rotting their teeth. Link to comment

peachmangosteen August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 She just said that they're bringing someone in to look at them. She also said they aren't giving her painkillers, just telling her to ice it. Victoria's is the only person besides Nicole and Donny that I actually like, but I really hope she has to be removed from the game for this. I just really want Donny/Nicole to get another chance, dammit! 1 Link to comment
TexasChic August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 Well, they don't seem to be talking about it, and the HGs mentioned that Frankie was locked out once and nothing ever came of it. So maybe it's nothing. In the meantime there's this: Jokers 08/22/14 05:43 PM Vic in FR to herself "*****. *****. Whyd I do that to Zach." Switches to Derrick cam in SR Link to comment

ParadoxLost August 23, 2014 Share August 23, 2014 (edited) I wouldn't think problems with wisdom teeth would come all of a sudden like a cavity, but then I got mine removed as a kid as a preventative thing. The not eating is less problematic than the fact that I was laid up for a couple days. Being put under is not something I bounce back from quickly but I don't know how normal that is for that type of procedure. Edited August 23, 2014 by ParadoxLost Link to comment
